Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

A sapphic monster romance where a woman escaping religious trauma finds healing, autonomy, and scorching chemistry with a patient, powerful succubus.

Synopsis

Belladonna doesn’t know if a person can die from guilt, but she’s giving it her best shot. All her life, she’s done what she needed to in order to survive, but in recent years, the cost only seems to skyrocket…until someone innocent gets hurt. That’s why she made her deal with the demon. To right the wrong she committed. But when she’s auctioned off to Rusalka, a powerful and devious succubus, it’s nothing like she expected. She’s…taken care of. And if she’s put to work and expected to fulfill every part of her bargain, Belladonna is only too happy to let someone else shoulder the responsibility and make decisions for her. Too bad Rusalka isn’t in the market for a servant. She wants a full partner. If Belladonna can’t release her guilt and step into that role… Things may be over even before they begin.

At a Glance

F/F paranormal romance where a sheltered woman is auctioned to a succubus who wants a partner, not a servant. Katee Robert delivers on the spice but the real story is Belladonna unlearning shame. Heavy religious trauma themes handled with care.
